All The Belongings
I got a call yesterday afternoon from my father. He was calling from the emergency room and needed me to take him home. He had been in a car wreck. He got T-boned in a major intersection by a lady who ran the red light. He’s ok. Lots of back pain, bruised ribs, bruised kidney. His car is totaled though. I went and got stuff out of it at the towing place. I cleaned out the glove box and boxed up all the belongings he had. The we went and got a prescription filled for some pain pills. Strong stuff. He’ll be passed out most of today, which is good cause he’s going to be hurtin’. I worry because back problems can stick with you and haunt you all your life. Yesterday I told him he was lucky. He just looked at me and laughed. He sure didn’t feel lucky, but he knew what I meant.

Oh geez, I’m sorry - but you’re right, he *is* very lucky. Just make sure he keeps up on getting his back checked out so that a potentially small problem doesn’t turn into a huge problem later on. (You know how dads can sometimes get about doctors…my own dad would have to be bleeding out of his eyes before he’d willingly see a doctor.)
I’m glad he’s okay.
2 Allison Says:
Aww., well, I’m glad he’s ok, scary though, I know. I hope his back will be fine..that’s a pretty nasty car wreck to be in, for sure.

I am glad he is ok. In a car accident like that, you just never know. That must have been scary.

Having a parent go through something like that is always tough on you and them. My first Bloody Mary will be cheered to your pop’s speedy recovery.
